The Fox At Badger Brook Reviews

Jen

This was a fantastic place to stay - warm and comfortable when the weather was truly awful (storm Henk). The humans loved the hot tub; the dog loved the field to run around in. The only downside for us was the bed was not quite long enough for someone 6 2 tall. Other than that, wonderful!

Absolutely incredible place! Great location, such lovely owners, modern interior, cleanliness beyond compare, excellent hot tub, what more could you want? The owners went above and beyond with little touches (robes for the hot tub) to make the place feel like home and it really was a lovely place to spend the weekend. You are quite close to the air port and are on a farm so if youre a ~really~ light sleeper this is just something to be aware of. I do not hesitate to recommend this place!
